Another season of Sterling Archer in the books and the show and its star are still upwardly mobile. The ISIS team continues their misadventures, soul searching, heavy drinking, casualty accumulating, office shenanigans-ing, not so politically correct in-joking and being the most addictive animated comedy on TV today. Whether on tropical isles, deep in space, or the backwoods of Appalachia - Archer and his team will save the day, kinda. Season 3 is a must buy for Archer fans and would work as a solid intro for new viewers, who should be able to catch on quick. Plus....Burt friggin' Reynolds!

Archer is back and silly as ever!

Viewers either get this show or they don't. Archer is a highly trained secret agent and, along with his cast of crazy characters, he does his best to stop the bad guys, date the ladies, and not get killed in the process. And when I say the cast is crazy, you will find that each one is more twisted than the one before. An incredibly talent voice cast handles the dialogue and the show is hilarious. This send-up of the whole secret agent genre is pure genius! Be aware: it's an FX show, so the themes and language are a bit out there. But it is totally addicting.

If you're a fan of satirical humor this is for you

If you are a fan of Archer than I don't know why you're reading this, you have already purchased this season. If not or on the fence this is a hilarious dark humor filled animated show. I had heard it was funny and when I watched the first season I nearly fell out of bed laughing so hard. It is raunchy, politically incorrect, and offensive at times, but is pointedly trying to do these things. Me and the wife love it and can't wait for the next season in Jan.

delightfully consistent

archer has perhaps some of the most solid storytelling that i've seen on a show in some time. while the comedy of the first two seasons is delightful enough on its own, by the time you reach the third season, the consistency of character and story development start to build archer into a show that's not only hilarious but structurally sound and narratively intriguing.

What can you say? Archer rocks. The creativity in this series is just awesome. Very sophomoric but who cares. It is meant to entertain and it does. Look forward to the new episodes on FX and then the chance to watch them at my leisure when the season is released on Bluray. Not for kids but who cares. Great for adults with a proper sense of humor.

sophomoric humor with bits of wit mixed in

Archer is great. I'm not really sure what to compare it to, or what show to say if you like X you'll like Archer. But, if you like futurama, with park, family guy, or anything like that, you should give archer a try. Maybe check out an episode on netflix and then go buy the DVD if you like what you saw. Always support the shows you really like.

Characters from ISIS's past return and wreak havoc. The jokes get funnier and the cast gets more depth. Sometimes you even feel genuinely sorry for some of them, then they revert to being the catty monsters that they are and you are right back laughing at their hilarious antics. This show gets better and better.

Warning: Really immature content

The "mature content" warnings are somewhat misleading: Most of the humor is really immature. But there's a lot of smartness in them too, although the self-centeredness of all of the characters sometimes veers into the "Jeez, this is just a bit too much." Not that it stays there long.
